I’m a lung
and a throat
on a seat
on the road
and there’s sun
and there’s wind
and the road
has no sound

ArtCrimes was a limited edition art/poetry journal I published from 1986 through 2006: 21 years, 21 issues, $20,000 lost. The perfect art project. Published 517 people and a dog. No one was ever rejected, neither for talent nor subject matter. Lady and I published the final issue in 2006 one month before we left the country.
